Interactive diagrams. (Updated!) Diagrams that interactively show piece moves.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Could be that I did that intentionally. The universal leaper moves are generated by a piece of code that is completely different from the code that generates other moves. (As they are not relative to the start square.) And this code doesn't test for the target squares being attacked. In the Maka Dai Dai Shogi diagram the Emperor was the only royal piece, (as it was the last piece mentioned), but I did not want any royal piece, (as there is no rule against putting yourself in check there), and the fact that it is a universal leaper now hides this. But later I added commands to the diagram to set the royal piece by hand, and allow multiple or none. So this kludge is no longer needed.
